The most important factor is that they must have REINFORCED sidewalls.
I'd recommend the 205/70-14 size.  The Michelin MXT has been highly
recommended.  I have the Yoko Y370's from Tire Rack and don't like
them due to poor stability, even at 65PSI.

Howdy,

I need tires all around for my 1986 2 wheel drive Westy. I called my
local (Berkeley) Big O Tires and they told me the recommended Yoko tire
is the LT/185/14. Does this sound correct? Some previous messages on the
list recommend LT-195/14. So, which is it, the 185 or the 195? Is there
a difference. BTW, he's asking $350 out the door for a set of four. Your
comments would be much appreciated. Will probably have new KYB shocks
installed as well.

Best regards, Marty
